Robbie Williams could educate your child

Vienna University researchers say some Robbie Williams tracks could lower stress and boost learning, due to their tempo close to that of the human heart.

As you probably know, studies by people with clearly quite a lot of time on their hands have indicated that playing classical music to children whilst they're still in the womb or when they're very young can help increase intelligence and logic skills. Well now some more researchers, this time from Vienna University, have said that it's not just a classical thing; Robbie Williams can have a positive impact too. Project leader Konrad Zimmerman says that some of the pop star's tracks have the power to lower stress and boost learning skills, due to the fact that they have a tempo close to that of the human heart. Other artists mentioned in the study included Norah Jones, Kelly Clarkson, Daniel Powter, and Mel C. What, no Nine Inch Nails?
